Hated and hailed, excoriated and revered, Abraham Lincoln was at the pinnacle of American power when secessionists gave no quarter in a clash of visions bound up with money, race, identity, and faith. In him we can see the possibilities of the presidency as well as its limitations. This book tells the story of Lincoln from his birth on the Kentucky frontier to his leadership during the Civil War to his tragic assassination: his rise, his self-education, his loves, his bouts of depression, his political failures, his deepening faith, and his persistent conviction that slavery must end.

Lincoln - Man for the times
Revisado: 02-25-23
I was first captivated by the author’s voice, then by the way he uncovered Lincoln’s character. The book gave me a sense of the man who over time became exactly the man for the time of our country’s greatest internal struggle. If only he had lived to preside over reconstruction, our country might be a much different and better place!

Prepare to experience paradise... No author in history has more material in print than Charles Spurgeon. Today, more than a century after his death, countless people continue to have a passion for this London preacher, and more and more discover him every day. Some of Spurgeon’s most powerful sermons were those he preached on Heaven.

A fabulous, biblical book about Heaven!
Revisado: 08-11-21
This is the best book I have read/listened to about Heaven. It is based completely on God’s Word and I loved Randy Alcorn’s intro to each of Spurgeon’s sermons. The book is for anyone who wonders about what the Bible really says about death, Jesus’s return and Heaven. Don’t miss this revealing, exciting and comforting book!!

Titan is the first full-length biography based on unrestricted access to Rockefeller’s exceptionally rich trove of papers. A landmark publication full of startling revelations, the book indelibly alters our image of this most enigmatic capitalist. Born the son of a flamboyant, bigamous snake-oil salesman and a pious, straitlaced mother, Rockefeller rose from rustic origins to become the world’s richest man by creating America’s most powerful and feared monopoly, Standard Oil. Branded "the Octopus" by legions of muckrakers, the trust refined and marketed nearly 90 percent of the oil produced in America.

Unexpectedly fascinating and engaging biography
Revisado: 11-19-18
When hearing the name Rockefeller, I will forever be thankful for this complete, unbiased, thoughtful book. Rockefeller’s family life, business life and incredible drive to give away his money throughout his life were woven together with his absolute conviction of authority in his decisions. It was quite an amazing time in the birthing of business and industry in America. Certainly not all good, but we benefit still today from his family commitment to giving.

In the spirit of Steve Jobs and Moneyball, Elon Musk is both an illuminating and authorized look at the extraordinary life of one of Silicon Valley's most exciting, unpredictable, and ambitious entrepreneurs - a real-life Tony Stark - and a fascinating exploration of the renewal of American invention and its new makers.

Fascinating!
Revisado: 07-15-15
Knowing nothing about Elon Musk prior to this book, I am now captivated by his vision, work ethic, intellect and drive. I want to know more and do more myself, which is the best way to come away from a great read!
Well written, researched and presented material on broad subjects made this a terrific book!
